The last brick



She 

stands firm

holding

cradling

rocking

feeding

each new one

backbone

flexible yet strong

Society

once built on rock

undermined

crumbling

shifting

held together yet

by one last

brick

Her 

her warmth

her touch

her look

her hands

her teaching

her love

ruling supreme

in her sacred

home

guarding her hearth

She

rules the cradle

she

rocks the world

opens eyes

shows the way

makes the plans

rebuilds

reclaims

a fortress

a haven

home
